whitemartyr got a new Serenity banner...and spitefairy has her awesome River header...and I realized I don't have a single Firefly/Serenity pic in my current LJ banner! I think I might need to make myself something pretty for my LJ. Change is good, yeah?

Problem is, I lack commitment. I'll sit down to make an all Firefly banner, then feel bad for my other fandoms. What I need to make is a "joss whedon is my master now" banner...yesssss...a plan is forming.

Watched the first 30 minutes of Unforgiven last night with dinner. I'm intrigued. Hopefully we'll watch the rest tonight.

Joanne's wedding is tomorrow. We have her gift and I think I'm just going to wear one of the pretty skirts I bought at Kohls. We attempted to look for dresses when we were out but it's the wrong season so all that was left were either prom dresses or really ugly summer dresses. The weather has been miserable all week, but I'm hoping the sun will come out and shine on her special day. According to weather.com, it should be clear skies. *crosses fingers*

I'm very curious to see what kind of wedding this is. I'm sure Joanne & Mike will add their own flavor to it. I can't imagine it being the same as Alex & Julie's.



And I leave you with a handful of Buffy quotes on how I feel about all this wedding stuff:

Buffy: Nothing's ever simple anymore. I'm constantly trying to work it
out. Who to love or hate. Who to trust. It's just, like, the more I
know, the more confused I get.

Giles: I believe that's called growing up.

Buffy: I'd like to stop then, okay?


ANYA
He's swell

XANDER
She's sweller

ANYA
He'll always be my feller

XANDER
That's why I'll never tell her that I'm petrified

ANYA
I've read this tale
There's wedding, then betrayal
And I know there'll come the day I'll want to run and hide

ANYA AND XANDER
I've lied
I've said it's easy
I've tried
But there's these fears I've can't quell


ANYA: What was it? Was it about me? 'Cause he wanted you to hate me, Xander.
XANDER: It wasn't you. (sighs) It wasn't you I was hating. (pauses) I had these thoughts, and ... fears before this.

XANDER: (tearful) We can't start over. If this is a mistake, it's forever, and ... I don't want to hurt you. Not that way.


BUFFY
I always feared there was something wrong with me, you know, because I couldn't make it work. But maybe I'm not supposed to.

ANGEL
Because you're the slayer?

BUFFY
(looks at Angel) Because—OK, I'm cookie dough. I'm not done baking. I'm not finished becoming whoever the hell it is I'm gonna turn out to be. I make it through this, and the next thing, and the next thing, and maybe one day I turn around and realize I'm ready. I'm cookies. And then, you know, if I want someone to eat— (eyes go wide as she catches herself) or enjoy warm, delicious cookie me, then...that's fine. That'll be then. When I'm done.

Yeah, there is a lot there that speaks to me too...

yeah, this whole "growing up" thing just scares me to death. I have far too many insecurities, yet being insecure seems to be part of being an adult, but I can't make decisions when I'm insecure so I feel like I'm so young and AAAH!

I was very weirded out earlier this week when I found out Kevin Pereira, the host of Attack of the Show, is actually younger than me! I'm so used to anyone who is on TV being at least my age or older that finding out he graduated high school in 2001 just weirded me out.

Okay... the new guy hired for the full-time position at CRO? Yeah...23. He was a *volunteen* at ODN. o_O; I'm officially no longer the baby. lol He's actually younger than I was when I was hired.

The bigger question is what kind of cookie dough are you? I think you're a lite flowery dough with some nuts. :P

[orangerful.livejournal.com]
